About the Roswell Police Department

The Roswell Police Department serves and protects citizens and visitors within the city. Roswell is located 20 miles north of Atlanta. The 200 employee department serves a population of almost 100,000 and 41.95 square miles of property.

Meeting the challenges of a growing city, the Roswell Police Department touts a crime rate of only 2 persons crimes and 25 property crimes per 1,000 persons. Roswell residents and businesses are active in our community and support police efforts to maintain a safe environment.

The citizens can expect a professional, internationally accredited police department. The Roswell Police Department strives to set a standard of excellence for others to follow.

Mission

The Roswell Police Department vows to protect life and property, preserve the peace, and strives to prevent crime, fear, and disorder in the City of Roswell in partnership with all of those who live, work, and travel through our city.

Staff

Our personnel are committed to the CALEA ideal of excellence. Excellence means going far beyond the line of duty, doing more than others expect. This is what excellence is all about. It comes from striving, maintaining the highest standards, looking for the smallest detail, and going the extra mile. Excellence means caring and making a special effort to do more.

Community Oriented Policing

In order to achieve excellence, we are dedicated to the concept of Community Oriented Policing (COP). COP is predicated on seeking input from the community on law enforcement and quality of life issues. I hope our citizens will test our commitment by using this site to report non-emergency neighborhood problems, complaints, and suggestions.
